I am trying to create a chart of percentages with the data table displayed
with the dhart in Excel 2003. The problem is that I have some symbols in the
table (e.g., <1%), which when charted are treated as text and simply show up
as a zero in the data table. I would appreciate any suggestions for getting
these symbols to appear correctly in the data table displayed with the chart.

Thanks!

jageorge,

Unfortunately, you have very little control over the data tables that appear
as an option. You can get around this limitation by using worksheet cells as
a data table. This example of how to do so might help:

Also, you can "shoot a picture" of a worksheet range and use it as a legend.
You can refer to this example:
